Monitor databases in read-only scale-out and in database mirroring systems
The Monitor supports monitoring the database server of the root node in a read-only scale-out system and the primary
database server in a mirroring system. In a mirroring system, the Monitor can be configured to always monitor the primary
database server, even when a fail-over occurs. A new widget, the SQL Anywhere Scale-Out Topology widget, displays topology information for the SQL Anywhere mirroring and scale-out systems.

To create a resource for a root node in a read-only scale-out system or the primary database in a mirroring system, use the
Add Resources window and choose to create a SQL Anywhere Server resource. See Adding a database resource.

There is no difference in the resource configuration for a root node in a read-only scale-out system and other database servers.
When the resource is configured or migrated, the Monitor detects that the resource is the root node in a read-only scale-out
system.

A resource for a primary database in a mirroring system requires special configuration. To ensure that the Monitor always
monitors the primary database server even when a fail-over occurs, you must configure the resource using the following options:

In the Host field, specify the host names and port numbers of the computers running the primary and mirror servers in a comma-separated
list. For example: my-primary-server:2638,my-mirror-server:49152.

Ensure that the Port field is empty.

In the Server field, type the alternate server name for the primary server. That is, specify the name that clients use to connect to the
database server that is acting as the primary server in the database mirroring system.

You must add the SQL Anywhere Scale-Out Topology to your dashboard as it is not one of the default widgets that appears when a new dashboards is created. See Widgets.

Also, a new alert, Alert when the number of disconnected scale-out nodes exceeds the given threshold:, has been added. See Specifying alert thresholds.

New Monitor metrics and alert for MobiLink servers
The Monitor metrics for MobiLink server resources now includes a metric named Is Consolidated Available. This metric shows True if the MobiLink server can connect to the consolidated database. If the consolidated database becomes unavailable, then a
Consolidated Database Unavailable alert is issued.

New names for MobiLink resource metrics
The following SQL Anywhere Monitor metrics for MobiLink server resources have changed:

Old name

New name

Bytes Read Rate

TCP Bytes Read Rate

Bytes Written Rate

Alert Notification window
The Alert Notification window now includes two options that restrict the number of emails set per day and the type of email sent.

Only Send Email Notifications For High-Priority Alerts
Set this option to receive email notifications only when high-priority alerts are raised.

Do Not Send More Than The Given Number Of Email Notifications Per Day
Specify this option to limit the amount of notification emails sent to each user per day.
